The DAS certificate for the petitioner is a new requirement but in all honesty many people have said the embassy has never asked for it. I also read from a member in another thread that all she had to

Hi guys, I've been roaming this topic reading all your posts, and it's been great help in our process. My wife and step-child have the appt set for the CR1 on 2/3/12 , with the medical on 1/30/12. I won't be able to be at the embassy for the appt, but I'll join them on the 9th for our trip back to our new home. I got emails from NVC where it states they only need to take photos, passports & the medical exam results, but wanted to ask you guys based on your experience if we should take any additional documentation. My wife is taking our wedding pics, along with additional proofs that our union is real..anything else?? any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

We took pictures of us, with our families, copies of recent emails, recent chats, letters, that type of stuff just in case, turns out the CO wanted to see and read everything we brought in which I believe helped with our case. So just take whatever you can think of to prove that you have a legit marriage and a good relationship. Edit any private info and you'll be fine.

This post is directed to the Forum Mods to see if the thread can be moved to the Latin America forum since most people end up posting different threads in that forum and have no idea that this thread exists. This way, we can keep all of the English Colombian posts together in one place.

Thanks!
